Why, under the blurb for Twitch Plays Pokemon Red Anniversary Run, is there this snippy line about the chat using "a cheat tool, as usual"? Is this describing Democracy mode? That isn't even under the real control of the chat itself, but the streamer and his coding. It just seems like a useless potshot at something an editor may not like to me.

Should Pokemon Conquest get it's own bullet point? Not necessarily it's own page, but as it's considered 'part' of TTP and was played to completion maybe it should be moved from the intermission section and placed as run seven and a half, or something similar.

Twitch Plays Pokemon Conquest, you mean? I can find barely any information on it in Google.

Yeah. Twitch played it from begining to end inbetween Black and Black 2.

Well, you can put an entry there already. I do not see any problem with it.

Think someone should add something in the fridge brilliance section regarding how the lyrics for the first opening of the Johto saga in the anime actually brilliantly summarize how the Crystal run ended up so differently? After all, 'It's a whole new world we live in./It's a whole new way to see./It's a whole new place, with a brand new attitude'.

The page says "done with a hacked ROM of the Generation I game Pokémon Red." This is a case where I would say [citation needed].

AFAIK (although I could be mistaken) in the beginning of the project there was some talk that the streamer might use a hacked ROM in order to remove the step limit at the Safari Zone. There was also some talk about him using the "151 hack" (or whatever it's called.)

However, as far as I know, the ROM was not hacked in any way. The step limit was there, and everything seemed normal. Can anyone cite a trustworthy source that says for sure that the ROM was a hacked one? (And, again, those rumors from the beginning of the project do not count. Something more trustworthy than that, and from a later time.)

If not, then the "hacked" part should be removed, to avoid misunderstandings.

I saw that there will be a new LP, probably Pokémon Gold, Silver or Crystal, so I guess it'll have a lot of tropes as well. So, what do you think of moving this page to "Twitch Plays Pokémon Red" and then create a new page for the next one (I mean, when it starts)?

I agree, we should make a new one as soon as the next game starts.

Came in here to suggest the same thing. We should keep Twitch Plays Pokémon as an overlay and index to the pages.

Problem is, we'll have to redirect the subpages like the character page as well.

We only need to redirect the big, important pages like the main section and characters. Pages like Fridge Logic and some of the less important Crowners can just use fenyx4's headers idea.

Yeah, I suppose they can all be lumped together since they're small pages anyway.

to a few of the sub-pages, because in the event that a Pokémon Gold, Silver, or Crystal and/or subsequent generation run is attempted, it's going to be a nightmare separating the Generation 1-related media and events from the Generation 2 (and potentially Generations 3, 4, 5, and/or 6, if they ever happen) runs, so I'm trying to be pro-active in making sections now.

Also, it would be great if other editors could help in correcting instances of "Pokemon/pokemon" to "Pokémon" so that the pages can appear somewhat well-written, at least. Thanks in advance!

So, I've seen entries mentioning that we've defeated Blue every time we encountered him and that we got through Vermilion City Gym on our first try.
However, I'm fairly certain that we lost against Blue once or twice on the S.S. Anne and that Surge's Raichu mopped the floor with us the first time around.

Can anyone confirm this?

It's true we lost to Surge on our first Vermilion attempt, but I think they're referencing the fact that we managed to get through the trash-can puzzle on our first try. And I'm pretty sure we beat Blue first try on the S.S. Anne.

These were listed under Ret Gone, when Ret Gone is about removing someone from existence to the point where they never existed. Considering they still have stats for the released pokemon, they obviously existed within the context of the game.

I'm in no mood to fix it right now, but is there any reason why people are potholing released pokemon to things like Death Tropes and Ret Gone? They're released into the wild; it's more appropriately Lost Forever

What would the equivalent be for Alas, Poor Scrappy? The reaction was definitely there after Flareon left.

Ironically, the people who wanted to ignore getting Eevee as party member #6 ended up being absolutely right. Everyone's efforts to either make Eevee useful or free up the party spot for a Surfer caused one disaster after another.

Anytime Red is near the PC, people will divide between who wants to free a slot for Lapras (or get rid of Flareon) and who is too afraid to use it. The result is a confused Red running in circles inside the pokecenter.

Not that this isn't an appropriate example, but it's certainly Not an Example of that particular trope. I don't know the correct one off the top of my head, but Interservice Rivalry isn't even close to being it.

The use of spoiler tags is laughable; this stuff is literally getting posted on news sites, and no one in their right mind is going to watch 5 plus days of footage including things like dicking around in an elevator for 5 hours. None of this stuff is or is ever likely to be a surprise.

I just removed all spoiler tags. Yes, all of them. There's no point.

Again, no one is going to go back and watch this. OK, maybe one or two people are crazy enough to watch 5+ days of continuous footage of mostly-BS, but not sane people.

If you could somehow have it spoiled right before seeing it in real time it might be a spoiler, but we can't edit that fast anyway

Because almost everything happening is garbage nonsense, allowing spoilers means anything even slightly interesting will be spoiler-tagged, which is effectively like having nothing spoiler tagged except more annoying to read.

Anyone jumping in now would be better served reading "spoilers" than spending at least a week catching up on the footage, assuming they have any kind of life.

Everything is being reported on in real-time anyway. Spoiler tagging anything is like spoiler-tagging history. Just don't.

And... Since this is a documenting of a "social experiment", we should be listing what happened like scientists, not authors trying to captivate the audience. I mean, the page might as well be a Useful Notes page in that regard.

Exactly, this is more like an event than an artwork.

Considering this is an ongoing Real Life event rather than a work of fiction, I don't see much point in concealing spoilers anyway.
